It’s as if every NFL team has a used-car lot of sorts for failed quarterbacks.

And business has been booming the past few days. Their broken-down sports cars and low-mileage lemons finally are flying off the lots.

NFL general managers, like their used-car salesmen counterparts, know there’s always someone willing to overlook serious defects -- so long as the model has a snappy appearance and a once glistening reputation.

Two weeks ago the Tennessee Titans cut that old bucket of bolts otherwise known as Matt Hasselbeck, and the Indianapolis Colts quickly picked him up as insurance for Andrew Luck.

The Titans needed someone else to back up Jake Locker, so they quickly signed free agent Ryan Fitzpatrick -- previously not enjoyed (and cut) by the Buffalo Bills.

On Saturday night the Bills reportedly agreed to terms with Kevin Kolb, whom the Arizona Cardinals plopped on the lot after two seasons of misstarts and misery.

Monday brought more sales.

The Oakland Raiders drove off with Matt Flynn, after a trade-in with the Seattle Seahawks, who in return got a fifth-round draft pick in 2014 and a conditional pick in 2015. Oakland is expected to renegotiate down the remaining two years of Flynn’s three-year, $24-million deal.

That means the Raiders, in turn, are sure to either trade away Carson Palmer -- or just roll him and his $13-million 2013 salary out to the curb.

In either event, the Cardinals reportedly are the most enthusiastic tire-kickers. That Arizona released John Skelton on Monday evening suggested something might be in the works.

The Cleveland Browns’ signing of ex-Bear Jason Campbell last week -- to back up Brandon Weeden -- meant Colt McCoy was a goner for sure. And on Monday the Browns found a taker in draft-picks-rich San Francisco.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Niners obtained McCoy and a sixth-round draft pick in exchange for the 49ers’ fifth- and seventh-round picks in the April 25-27 draft.

Do all these trades and signings mean that the QB-desperate teams are unlikely to sign a quarterback from this year’s mediocre draft class with their Top 10 first-round picks?

Maybe.

But there’s nothing like a shiny, brand new car -- consumer reports be damned. In other words, don’t count on everyone passing until Day 2. For some, or even most, these recent additions are insurance.

Soon to join them, in all likelihood? The New York Jets’ Pope-mobile otherwise known as Tim Tebow.

LOGO LOCO: The Miami Dolphins confirmed last week’s visual leaks, and officially released their new team logo. Most sports fans hate it when their team’s time-honoured uniforms, colours or logos are mangled by greedy athletic-apparel companies, at the urging of some over-empowered, short-sighted, pack-mentality marketing-obsessed twerp. Unsurprisingly, by Monday night 54% of 3,600+ respondents to a poll at bleacherreport.com hated the new logo. Only 21% loved it. We can only hope that, some day, teams get the message and stop FUSSING with beloved local traditions.

RG3 ABOUT TO RUN: Robert Griffin Jr. told the Washington Post his son has been “running in the pool, and some on the treadmill” and “is about ready to take it out on the field.” RG3 had extensive reconstructive surgery after tearing the ACL, LCL and meniscus in his right knee in Washington’s Jan. 6 playoff loss to Seattle. Of course, everybody trusts that the Redskins wouldn’t ever do a thing to jeopardize RG3’s health. But the young man might do well to have a lonnnng chat with a guy named Bobby Orr.

RODGERS THAT: Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers keep inching closer to agreement on an NFL-record contract extension. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the two sides are about $2 million apart on average salary, with the Packers offering him more than $21 million per season. That would break the record set last month by Baltimore’s Joe Flacco ($20.6 million average). Rodgers is set to earn $19.75 million over the final two years of his current contract.

NASSIB NEXT FOR BILLS: The Bills worked out quarterback Matt Barkley on Monday in California, according to reports. And they lined up similar private workouts with Syracuse’s Ryan Nassib (per Joe Buscaglia of Buffalo’s WGR 550-AM) and Tyler Bray of Tennessee. These follow 1-on-1 workouts the club has had with Oklahoma’s Landry Jones, West Virginia’s Geno Smith and Florida State’s E.J. Manuel. Bills GM Buddy Nix told me two weeks ago the club would hold such workouts with “about five or six” draft-eligible quarterbacks. These will make it six.

GENO SLAMMED: Pro Football Weekly crushes many draftnik’s No. 1 QB, Geno Smith, in its draft preview magazine. Senior editor Nolan Nawrocki says the West Virginia product “was often out of sync with receivers, (has) average field vision and coverage recognition, forces throws, … takes unnecessary sacks and does not feel pressure, (is) not an elusive scrambler, (has) shaky lower-body mechanics, does not stand well in the pocket, … has pin legs and bad pocket posture, (is) not a student of the game, (has) nonchalant field presence, does not command respect from teammates and cannot inspire. Mild practice demeanour -- no urgency. Not committed or focused -- marginal work ethic.”
